Fediverse seems like its stabilizing: https://fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=1000

(and these are the servers that allow the crawler from the observer, so its highly likely the numbers are much larger).

We are seeing:

Overall pretty good! Keeping the momentum going. Thanks everyone, whichever platform/instance you hail from!

Having spent about 2 years on Lemmy, I made the commitment to ditch YouTube in favor of PeerTube.

At first, it may look like there's mostly garbage and then some privacy enthusiasts, but that's only because recommendations and search are not very powerful compared to other platforms.

PeerTube is home to troves upon troves of high-quality original content on various topics, you just have to look for it. And for your YouTube-exclusive needs, there are instances that mirror popular channels.

Give it a spin!

    Can you give me a small list of channels producing such high quality content on Peertube?

    What the other commenter said, look for these instances, especially TILvids

    Other than these, some specific recommendations:

    Take a look at !peertube@lemmy.world (or the links on the side) and look at Top. Maybe you will see some channels you would like.

    And if your on piefed, you can take a look at https://piefed.social/f/fediversevideos, lots of great channels!

    Peertube takes awhile to figure out/get going. Other stuff like Mastodon/Akkoma, Lemmy/Piefeed, were easy to figure out to the point where I just set up my own Akkoma instance on my server.

    Peertube...oof that took awhile. Yeah the problem is the recommendations and search. you really have to get in there and dig through the top layer of shit before you find the diamonds underneath. There are some FANTASTIC tutorial channels on PeerTube for dev stuff, linux, game dev, etc.

    Also the other problem is finding a good Peertube instance. Don't go by whatever lists are out there, it's honestly via word of mouth that you'll find the good ones which is sort of a shame. I think that's the main thing that's holding it back. for stuff like Mastodon or even Piefeed/Lemmy what instance you're on doesn't matter all that much as their all incredibly connected and pretty much provide you with the same "front end" so to speak.

    Peertube? it's a mess in most cases. Some instances are super duper customized to the instance owners preferences, others are barely searchable, etc so in a way unlike other fediverse stuff Peertube feels a bit disconnected from itself
